The absolute #1 engine removal video I've seen on youtube. I have a 2000 dakota 4.7, picked it up for 650 in need of an engine and I didn't know where to even start. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, I do mobile mechanic work in the summer as a side job so I know the odds and ins somewhat well, but I ain't NEVER pulled no motor. However the way I've thought myself over the years is just by biting off wayy more than I can chew, and make myself figure it out (be it through youtube, forums, haynes, etc.) Well I've absolutely never had the balls to pull an engine and every other time I was faced with the need to replace one I just opted to sell the vehicle. Like a Pu**y. Well I saw the ad for the dodge and couldn't pass it up, started scouring the internet for how to's and just like every other time i need to learn something... And every other time its crappy videos with lots of time lapses from far away angles and very little interruption for small details or even big details. Your video is not that. This is the most detailed, in depth, down and dirty, shove that camera in there to get the bolt in the frame, just all around, end to end bad ass engine pull video on youtube. Amazing job. I request the highest of fives from you good sir. And from the bottom of my heart thank you for spending the time to make the video so idiots like me can get good deals on trucks

This man swap out an engine with ONE HAND FILMING HIMSELF ALL WHILE Explaining STEP BY STEP FOR DUMMIES LIKE ME !! 😂 😂 GOTDAMN BEAST!!! Good job 👏 subscribed!!

my truck has been sitting for about a year now, saw this video a couple months back and decided that I CAN do it. my new engine finally arrived, installing it this weekend! Thanks for the amazing video!!

you are so easy to understand. you saved me from suicide

Easily one of the best engine removal videos I've seen.

I’ve seen this video a while back didn’t know it was the same guy with the ram oil pan gasket replacement this video is top notch as well

I just pulled a 4.7L out of a Jeep today. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have the new one put in. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I must have watched every video (and read a ton of forums) specifically about pulling this engine out a jeep that is on youtube. Even with that, I learned more by watching you swap out this Ram than I did from any of the jeep specific videos. What, I believe, made your video so much more helpful even though I was dealing with a completely different engine bay is that no detail was too small for you to cover. You covered nearly every bolt, how to get to them, and how to deal with them when they inevitably don't do anything you want them to. This was incredibly valuable to someone doing this alone. You covered disconnecting from the transmission very well. Stupidly, most other videos cover everything but this in detail, even though it seems to be the most difficult part of the operation. It was also helpful to see what you used to hoist the engine with. I noticed you didn't have the lifting studs, or the bracket that Chrysler claims is the only way to do it. I just wanted to say thanks! Even though is was for a different vehicle some of the information you put out here made it possible for me to successfully remove my 4.7 from my Grand Cherokee. Thanks again!

Best video I have seen in a long time, thank you for taking the time to explain everything in detail. Will be swapping a 2004 Ram 1500 after the replacement engine arrives. Your video was extremely helpful with making my Removal and Install procedures.

I am in the middle of swapping a reman 4.7 into my 2004 Ram. You are a hero for documenting all of this. Thanks!!!

Thank you for putting this video up. My truck has been sitting for a while, but after watching this video I feel very confident about doing the motor swap. I saved the video for reference.

I was about to tell you how much I appreciate you doing this video then I read through the comments and seem everyone already told you! Yes this is the best one Ive seen on youtube so far! Thanks!

I have a 2001 dodge Dakota 4.7 liter with 312,000 miles and is my daily driver. Motor runs awesome to this day! Awesome video, thanks again.

Great video!! Swapping my 05 RAM 4.7 engine soon. This is by far the best video I've seen. Thanks so much for taking the time. Best regards!

Great detail! Thank you sir. About to pull out motor on a 2003 ram 3.7. Have a great day!

Boy you are good I've done engine swaps and transmission swaps on other people cars but now its time to swap my truck engine and this gives me a refresh on what to expect. Thank you bro

This video is perfect if you have mechanical abilities but have never done this truck before

Thanks man. Your video help me a lot. I just replace the engine in my 02 dodge ram 4.7. Thanks to your video. Everything come out perfect. My new old engine is running so smooth just took it to the emission test and pass. One thing. I never remove the bumper. Was a little hard to get the engine back in place but thanks for your video

Excellent video thanks for taking the time to record this

Thank you for such an awesome video, I have a 2003 dodge ram I’m about to do a engine swap on and this was exactly the video I was looking for. Thanks again!

Thank you for this video, i learned to do my very first swap and I'm very grateful you made thisb

Great video, you made it seem so easy, I’m planning on swapping out my 4x4 4.7 for a 4x4 5.7. I hope it goes smooth

Thanks for showing us how to pull the engine. Keep the good work

Thank you for the detailed video. I have an 02 ram with 240,000 I hope it all works out for you .

Literally one of the best videos!!👽💜🛸

Good stuff. Very helpful. Thank you for sharing.

Nice video! I got an 08 dodge 4.7 with almost 200k on it. It's still a solid engine but I'm thinking time is limited and a reman will need dropped in. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

This is awesome 👌 video 📹 indeed 👏 this really gonna help me on my 2002 dodge swapping motor out for first time.

Currently pulling it out of a 3rd gen to put in a Dakota opposite video still very helpful

Excellent video and very detailed, thank you! N u a beast holding phone for hours and swapping motor with the free hand lol u got a subscriber! Thanks again fr

I’m about to attempt this on my 2002 when my new engine from Powertrain gets here this week!

Excellent tutorial. Thanks.

Very detailed, thank you.

great video, thank you so much!

Great video, although I did have to figure out on my own to spin the crank to be able to take the bolts from through the flex plate into the torque converter.

whats the engine bolt size that you have on top that you have it hooked in order to pull the motor out? Thanks

What a wonderful detailed video. Thank you for taking the time and effort. It's much appreciated! I hope you make more detailed videos because this really will help people. I have 1 question for give me if it sounds foolish. Why did you have to take the bolts off the new motor torque converter and put them back on when trying to mate the motor with the transmission? Would it have been easier to do it outside? Thanks for the info. I'm subscribing!!

What would I have to change in my 02 dodge 1500 4.7 to install an 08 4.7

Thanks for the video I learned a lot mostly that this is beyond my pay grade. I have an 03 4.7 that needs a swap I’ll be looking for some help with mine

Thank you nice video

I’m doing my truck I have no ideal what I’m doing thanks for the video lol

THANK YOU, BIG JOB...

At 41 mins and 53 seconds in the video how did you end up getting that sensor disconnected? Mine is stuck really bad

I commented awhile ago on this video now I'm waist deep in my truck project. I removed my 4.7 on an 08 dodge ram. Followed your great video to a "T". Only thing I missed is one wire that comes out of the rear of the engine (intake area) Runs to a connector at the top of the bell housing. I did not break the wire but I stressed it. Do you know what it is for? Wish I could send pic. Hoping all is OK but wanted to know if I have issue when I slap it all together and have problem to isolate it.

Great video

Nice work! Very detailed. Crazy question, can you pull the engine and transmission out together? Looking to swap both out on my Dakotas. They are 4x4 also. If that matters. Just wondering.

Remove the intake manifold first. Then removing the top transmission bolts is a breeze.

is there some steps we can ignore to make it simpler? do i really need to remove the transmission for instance? also when unbolting the engine can i remove the brake booster before?

I'm trying to figure out what the bolts are for the Transmission to engine bolts look like

I got a question, my 03 dodge ram 4.7 engine is no good, I put a 04 Durango 4.7 engine in hasn’t got it started yet I’m still putting few minor things on but do I need the ecm or it should fire right up right? Is the Durango 4.7 same as the dodge ram 4.7?? If anybody has any info on this please let me know would be much appreciated.

Nice!!!

What part of the video do you remove the bolts that go into the flex plate

Thanks for the video that’s help me out but I got Questions can I swapped engine from Jeep Cheroke 2002 4.7 v8 on my dodge 2002 4.7 v8 too

Is if a lot more harder to change the engine on a 4wd? I’m planning on changing it my self on my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7 4wd

I’m putting a 5.7l v8 in my truck so far everything seems to be the same but do you think there are any differences or will this video still work to help me getting the new engine in there

What ended up connecting to the 2 red caps at back of motor?

Hopefully you reply .. but was the only thing you had to change was the motor mounts?

Saludos. alguien me podría enviar algún video de como extraer para sustuir el motor de una dodge ram van año 86...Gracias

Best video I have seen. I have a 04 ram 1500 4.7 removed engine and purchased new replacement engine old engine has no egr but new engine has a erg. Is it ok to blockoff with plate or should I try to find a different engine

I forgot to ask how is ur truck running now?

How do you place the wiring harness for 4.7 injector harness and coil pack harness

Hey brother could you help me out? I did my 5.7 and now I am getting p0300 and p0308. The guy I bought the engine from says the heads weren't pressure tested. If I replace the heads should everything be okay?

I have a 2004 Dodge RAM 1500 with a 3.7 V6 was wondering if anything special has to be done to upgrade to a V8?

Bravo!

Will my 2000 5.2 bolt to my 2004 4.7 tranny

I have a 04 dodge ram with a 5.7l, is this the same process as your 4.7l

One small trick if you hit electrical connectors with some penetrant it’s makes it easy as fuck to take them off 95% off the time.

I was kinda hoping to see how you tighten flywheel bolts to the toque converter

The Trans coolers can and will become plugged up. Its best to replace them with a aftermarket aluminum. Hayden 12x12 is much better. and cheap

How different is the 4.7 and 5.7 removal?

I’m just trying to figure out how to get the damn engine cover off😂

I was thinking rebuild vs buying a replacement so that there wouldn't be the other vehicles issues, no?

for those that don't stay by the time you get back to the impact wrench I used to put some cardboard in the socket and tap it on good, because that is very annoying when it falls off LOL I just got an 02 Ram 1500 says 5.7 HEMI on the fenders the Vin says its a 5.9 I am looking trying to Identify engines at this moment and came across your Mine has 8 spark plugs but most videos i find have 16 plugs, I'm happy with 8 the plugs I have LOL looks like your engine, where is the id number on the Engine?

How much harder is this if its a 4X4 and 5.7 hemi ?

This...was a gad dang adventure.

Sound like billy bob thorton

While this is a great how to video I have to ask...Is this an engine where installing a used 4.7 is a bad idea? Meaning is this one of the used engines you shouldn't consider installing unless it is a last resort? I have no idea...That's why I am asking. Ty

brother, aint no air filter in it

Quick question bro I have a 03 ram 4.7 single cab rwd how many catalytic converters does it supposed to have ?

nice....how much you bought the engine?....great work

v8

I’m in the midst of an 01 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 swap thought I bit off more than I could chew this video helped me a lot. Thank you! It was very informative
